Investigators said the man who was shot had a gun and was holding two people hostage inside a nearby home. The suspect was identified as 22-year-old Alan Gomez.

Police Chief Ray Schultz said a K-9 unit officer shot an armed man in the doorway of a home in a northeast Albuquerque neighborhood where two people were being held against their will.

Schultz said police received a 911 call on Tuesday from a woman inside the home, who told dispatchers that she and her boyfriend were being held against their will by her boyfriend's brother, who was armed with a gun.

Police said the man holding the couple hostage walked outside the home and, as he began to re-enter, an officer shot the man.

Schultz said the two people who had been inside the home were unharmed.

Investigators said Gomez has a violent history with the Albuquerque Police Department. Wanted on a probation violation for domestic violence, police feared what he was capable of doing next.

Convicted on charges of aggravated battery on a household member and arrested on driving while intoxicated charges, investigators said, Gomez was mentally ill, which is something they didn't know until after he was killed.

It was the third deadly officer-involved shooting this year.

The officer involved in the shooting, Officer Sean Wallace, was OK. Wallace was part of another officer-involved shooting last year.
